Default Extracting Cube Meta Data w/VBA - 11-23-2004 , 12:55 PM






Does anyone know if cube meta data can be extracted using Excel VBA? My goal
is to paste a date-time stamp (of when the cube was last processed) above a
pivot table w/data from the cube. Thanks.

Sure. Look at the OLAP Scribe utility. It shows you how to do it in MS Word.
If you can do it in Word, you should be able to use the same technique in MS
Excel.
